The point about Redline being too slippery for the synchros may be true, but
the MTL is the wrong lube for a Milano transaxle - Redline recommends there
75W/90NS or 75W/90 for this application, depending on whether your transaxle
has a limited slip. I had the 75W/90NS in my car for years and I was never
really satisfied with the shift feel. I recently switched to Kendall
(non-synthetic) 80W/140 and it so far it's an improvement. Rex Chalmers
echoed your sentiment regarding synthetics being too slick for the synchros
when recommending the Kendall.
